Dear Marist friend! We at the Maristenkolleg Mindelheim, Germany, have the goal of becoming a climate school. As a climate school, we aim to significantly reduce our CO2 footprint through projects and actions and engage our students in active climate protection. To achieve this, we need the support of Marist schools worldwide.

We are organizing a kick-off event to raise awareness of our project and the climate crisis.

For this, we would like to create a video featuring various statements about personal experiences with climate change. We would be very happy if you could send us a video in which students, with or without teachers, answer questions such as:

• How strongly am I affected by climate change?
• What does climate change mean to me?
• How do I perceive climate change?
• Are there groups actively fighting against global warming?

Please send your videos to [email protected] by 1st of March, 2025.

Thank you so much for your support! Together, we can make a difference.

Kind regards,

The student representatives of Maristenkolleg Mindelheim:

Sarah Latermann, Fabian Scholz, Niklas Dausch, Niklas Ruf, Nina Schulz, Jakob Schneller
